Andrea’s Story
In April 2020, my life took an unexpected turn. I found myself a single parent overnight, with a 6-month-old baby and a 2-year-old to care for. The sudden shift left me feeling helpless, alone, and terrified. Each day was a struggle as I faced the harsh realities of police interviews, child protection involvement, and the overwhelming legal system. All I wanted was to keep my daughters safe, but I didn’t know where to turn for help.
Months passed, feeling like I was trapped in a nightmare. Then, I discovered Crossway LifeCare, and everything began to change. I joined the 12-month family violence program, Courage to Heal. This became my beacon of hope, providing the support and empowerment I desperately needed to start my recovery journey. Surrounded by a group of women who truly understood my pain, I no longer felt alone.
